Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. We’re often asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and club events and presentations, serving salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.

Your questions about a hog roast in Shoreditch
What if our house in Shoreditch has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Artillery Ground?

Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?

A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
